TE RAPA HORSES.

YOUNG PADDON'S FOURj BEST OF MORNING. CALORIE GOES WELL. (By Telegraph.—Special to "Star.") HAMILTON, this day. There was a more restric ted programme than usual at To Rapa this morning, No. 1 grass being open for fast work. L'lic going was again dead and those to please •most were Calorie over a round and Young Paddon over a sprint distance.

The first to gallop were Calorie tEnsor) and Sunny Downs (Day), tue former finishing clear of her companion at tliQ, completion of a round in 2.3. the first five furlongs in 1 .Si and six in 1.22 J. Calorie has gone on the right way since her forward showing on the lalti r day of the Waikato meeting, and she will iack little on the score of condition for racing at Ellerslle. Royal Jay (Bartles) and Bronze Step (McKenstle) got to the end of half a mile in 34 l-~>s.

(iasacre < Kn#;or) and l'utama (Bro\vn> fin-\ islied practically on terms at the end of six in 1.21 their first, half mile in fiUts. Kneellno (Meyncll) dashed over three furlongs along tile back in .'!!• 1 "is. The Hunting Song two-year-old fitly Royal Melody ran from three furlongs to six in 41 4-os. Mlo Lume (Winder) and Illness Lad (Cotter) were finishing on over the deciding stages of a circuit in '-J. <>i. Both executed their work in solid style and are in good order for racing at KUcrslie. Olympus (McKenzie) and May fair (Hamsay) traversed half a mile in .V2s. They were travelling well within themselves throughout, and are in forward condition for pending engagements. The best half mile of the morning was that of Young I'addon (Day), who. after running his first three furlongs in K7s, negotiated the full distance In 51s. With the conditions likely to obtain at Ellerslie this genuine mudlark must be conceded prospects at the meeting. Mio Jaime (Winder) was schooled over two hurdles nlong the back of the course and shaped well.

Riding engagements for the first day of the Ellerslie meeting include:- J. Muir High Delight. Floodlight ; 11. Long. Star Vaal, Jayoln ; J. Winder, Mio Eume, General Ruse.
